I was offered a presciption for steroids in 1952. I went to the library and found out what they were and I told my doctor no.
I knew all kinds of athletes who took them I don't think any one really benefitted from their use.

I agree with you, until people start doing some serious studies on the effects of steriods from various perspectives; ie acute effects, chronic effects psychological effects etc... the fight either for or against steroids will have no bearing.
It is at the point now where people may be lured into taking steroids for personal gain without knowing the full effects of the drugs on their body. Of course if it turns out that steroids are liked to some sort of liver disease there will still be people willing to take them to succeed in their sports, but many others may think twice before using.... who knows.....
